Born in 1947 in post-war Germany, Wolfgang Flür made his name in the Kraftwerk, a band that was formed in Düsseldorf where he has spent most of his adult life. The last time I met him was in 1997 when he released his first post-Kraftwerk album with his band Yamo. His latest album, released last year, Magazine 1, is a masterpiece, a mixture of old and new, a commentary on today's world, and also that of post-war Düsseldorf, from Flür's perspective. In this interview, we talk about his own personal history, about his plea for pacifism in Say No! through the Wolfgang Borchert poem of the same name, and the track Birmingham, the home base of his main collaborator on this album, Peter Duggal. He also talks about how Trans Europe Express inspired him to make his track Night Drive, and his emotional final meeting with ex-Kraftwerk bandmate, Florian Schneider, in Düsseldorf where he continues to reside today.
